SSGT Governance Vote: DEFIT Liquidity and Business Expansion

Details on our next DAO Governance Vote and how to Participate as a SSGT Staker

Dear Community,

We’re excited to announce that our next governance vote will be taking place over this next week that will allow SSGT stakers to decide on DEFIT’s near-term plans for liquidity and business expansion!

This expansion and vote were proposed by the Founder and CEO of DEFIT, Kevin Serou, to the YFDAI core team, and after careful review, we have agreed to take this to a DAO governance vote given the move of exchange liquidity that our second LaunchPad project will require. The YFDAI team backs the plans, but the SSGT stakeholders will ultimately decide to proceed forward.

There are several benefits for this expansion plan, and they are outlined below and summarized in the following slide deck: DEFIT — Strategic Initiatives and Exchange Strategy Presentation

As we await the rollout of YFDAI DAO governance on the Aragon platform to be completed, this vote will be taking place using Google Forms (updated — formerly announced that we would be using Snapshot ENS), which we used before in our original vote to create and launch SSGT itself.

The calendar of events for this governance vote are as follows:

1. Governance Vote Announcement — Today
2. Snapshot Taken and Voting Commences — Wednesday, August 18th at 5 pm UTC
3. Vote Closes — Tuesday, August 24th at 5 pm UTC
4. Voting Results Announcement — Wednesday, August 25th at 5 pm UTC

DEFIT Expansion Details & Benefits

To deliver on their strategic initiatives, DEFIT is looking to move a portion of their liquidity from SafeSwap and Uniswap to QuickSwap (Polygon-based DEX) and Gate.io (DEFIT’s first centralized exchange). This move will have several significant benefits for the project and its stakeholders, including:

1. Cross-chain integration with Matic (Polygon) which will allow DEFIT to start building their in-app wallet within the 360Wellness (parent company of DEFIT) ecosystem on a L2 solution.
2. Adding QuickSwap as another DEX listing will bring new investors, liquidity options, and visibility to DEFIT.
3. The tier 1 CEX listing on Gate.io will give an easy way for crypto novices and new users to buy DEFIT and start utilizing it in their own 360Wellness integrated wallet.
4. Expanded marketing opportunities. DEFIT is in advanced promotional discussions with Gate.io for the exchange to heavily promote DEFIT to their +6 million users from over 150 countries while DEFIT promotes Gate.io in-app as the preferred CEX exchange.

After careful consideration, we have agreed (pending governance approval) to the following liquidity move proposed by the DEFIT executive team:

Points of Consideration:

1. ETH liquidity on SafeSwap will not be changed, only a reduction in DEFIT token liquidity on SafeSwap by 1,250,000 tokens (20% DEFIT reduction of the total 3,125,000 tokens on the exchange today).
2. Reduction of DEFIT liquidity on Uniswap by 32 ETH and 1,625,000 DEFIT tokens (12.6% ETH reduction and 36% DEFIT token reduction, respectfully).
3. Listing on QuickSwap and providing 32 ETH (from Uniswap to QuickSwap) for new WETH/DEFIT pair and 1,125,000 DEFIT tokens.
4. Listing on Gate.io with 1,750,000 DEFIT Tokens for listing, along with a marketing budget worth $85K USD.

Overall, we feel that the reduction of liquidity on the existing DEXs will have minimal-to-no impact and the expansion to two more exchanges greatly outweigh the minimal risks associated.

Potential Consequences of a “No” Vote:

• Inability to list DEFIT on new exchanges until much later in their project roadmap due to current token lockups and vesting schedules
• Users of DEFIT are likely to incur high ETH gas fees when making small transactions such as those contemplated on the 360 Wellness app, stifling user growth and product adoption
• Inadequate integration with Polygon as the listing on QuickSwap is intended to drive mass user adoption without the expense of high user fees
• Missed opportunity to expand the DEFIT vision and user base to a top-10 centralized exchange (as measured by daily trading volume)
